Destroying our Greenbelt is the single most short sighted thing this province can do. If the housing crisis is the actual real motivation behind this decision, why not focus on building denser, more walk-able neighbourhoods already in city limits? This "sprawl housing" method for building more housing is actually the most expensive and fossil fuel-dependant way to build. This province will be sabotaging itself by spending more money for less efficient infrastructure while also destroying some of the only natural diverse land we have left near the GTA. Destroying and parsing up the protected Greenbelt in favour of more expensive, and less dense housing will have catastrophic consequences for the environment and the people of Ontario's quality of life.

Please do not do this. Choose the cheaper, safer, and happier option.
